title: Gene regulation: a tale of germline mRNA tails.
abstract: Gene regulation often plays by different rules in the germline compared to the soma. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the spatial and temporal expression of germline genes is controlled post-transcriptionally via the 3' UTR rather than transcriptionally via the promoter.
